Self Betrayal

Welling up, wishing I could just die here on this spot
Loneliness and the doubting of myself was no excuse
Such sadness in his face, never did I ever wish to cause such pain
Not able to bare his eyes, tears fall slowly from my bowed head

Only love and kindness, his burning light always shone to me
If I could but only take all of me from his tortured mind
Carry the burden gladly through life that I put upon his heart
Gladly cry ten thousand tears for each tear my love shed because of me

His gentle hand raised my chin that I must look at him
My love would never let me hide my face from him
His words come so softly to my ears, filled with such despair
Only he would have the wisdom and strength to see straight to the truth

“It was not me that was betrayed, you betrayed yourself”
“When you learn the worth of yourself, you will return to me”
“You’ll come purely and openly, and you will believe”
“My love for you is eternal, as is yours for me”

Scent

Curtains tremble delicately in the open window
Hint of scent, born delicately upon the softest current
Fragrance meanders in, wraps me, gently caresses me
Reminded so distinctly, sweetly, of my distant love

The scent sets off such wondrous images in my mind
Transported blissfully into places of love and laughter
Moments spent in the company of my one, my only
Recollections of magical days and nights of every season

More and more alive with every inhalation
A magnetic tugging along all the fibres of my soul
Deliciously held, made love to in the clinging of the scent
Each exhale carries away pent up longings

Acutely aware of absinthe and absence
Happy for the visions this bouquet delivered me
Contented that my heart warmed and leapt
Delighting this scented gift could only be given to me
